Fujinomiya is known as "Food Valley" because of its abundance of ingredients, due to a variety of factors, including the clear spring waters from Mt. Fuji, the warm climate unique to Shizuoka, and the wide plateau area. Enjoying the food that is unique to Fujinomiya is one of the highlights of camping in Fujinomiya. Get your fill of Fujinomiya ingredients grown at the foot of the majestic Mt. Fuji!
If you're camping, you can't miss out on a BBQ! There are many ways to cook Fujinomiya brand meat, including grilling and using a Dutch oven. Make this delicious meat the star of your outdoor cooking!
Fuji Asagiri Beef : Raised on the Asagiri Plateau and meeting certain quality standards, Fuji Asagiri beef is known for the delicious juices that come from its lean meat.
Asagiri Yogurt Pork : These pigs are raised on a diet fermented into a yogurt-like consistency and are raised healthily without the use of antibiotics.
LYB pigs : LYB pigs are the original breeding stock developed by Mr. Kuwahara, a leading pig breeding researcher in Fujinomiya City.

Fujisan Okamura Beef, named after the farm, and dry-aged beef, which is aged using a unique method, are also popular!
Fresh vegetables don't just mean salads. Grilling them on a wire rack or in foil can work wonders on kids who don't like vegetables, and they'll magically eat lots of them at the campsite.

Warm milk for the kids and cafe au lait for the adults. The morning menu includes pancakes and French toast. There are recommended dairy products to decorate your special campsite mornings, different from your everyday routine.
Milk : The northern region, with its highland climate, is ideal for dairy farming! You can take a factory tour at Asagiri Dairy, or buy Ideboku milk at regular stores.

Fujinomiya City, where many fish farms are run using spring water, is the number one producer of rainbow trout in Japan! It has even been designated as the city's fish. It is also recommended as a camping dish, such as sprinkling salt on it and grilling it on a skewer, or wrapping it in foil and making it into an aqua pazza.
Fujinomiya Yakisoba, beloved as a representative of B-grade gourmet food, is also perfect as a camping meal. A unique method of making noodles using abundant spring water has been developed, resulting in the chewy and thick noodles that are characteristic of Fujinomiya Yakisoba. Steamed noodles can be easily purchased at supermarkets in the city.
Fujinomiya, where underground water from Mt. Fuji springs forth, is also a thriving sake producing region. The city has four sake breweries, as well as wine and craft beer breweries. Liven up your camping nights with sake made from pure spring water.
A camping menu starts with the ingredients. It's fun to pick out ingredients in advance and plan your camping meals. If you get your ingredients from a store used by locals, you might discover something new! There are also stores that offer camping sets, so do some research first.
There are many rainbow trout fishing ponds in Fujinomiya city. You can get food by fishing, which is unique to Fujinomiya. The fish you catch will be gutted and salted for you, so cooking is easy. Having the fish you caught cooked will be a precious memory of your camping trip.
You can also enjoy a drive around the city's stores, such as ranches, farms, butcher shops, direct sales stores, and supermarkets. Some products, such as camping sets, require reservations, so please check the website of each store!
